Each manufacturer will place a different recommendation on their instructions regarding this point. There is no set regulation, and Safetots recommend a common-sense approach. Prior to purchasing a fire guard, it is possible to turn your fire up to its maximum heat potential and make a judgement as to which distance from the fire the fire guard should be placed.
The steel mesh fireguards generally come out approximately 40-50cm from the wall. You may consider this not enough distance from the source of the fire, and therefore a multi-panel fire surround would be more suitable.
Safetots always recommend placing the fire guard as far from the source of the fire as is both possible or practical.
The most important consideration if using a multi-panel fire surround is to ensure your child is not able to reach between the bars (6.5cm in distance apart) to reach to the source of the heat.
